Abstract
In recent years Italian water utilities have gone through a restructuring process which focus is on processes optimization. Nowadays, the industry is still seeing many mergers and cost-reduction strategies taking place. Due to low tariffs, the Italian Water Industry has very limited economic resources that need to be spent optimally. In this framework, the importance of optimal asset management is increasing: as the budget is limited, an asset-specific knowledge is required "to choose exactly the right assets, to optimize maintenance activities and to refurbish and replace the selected assets at just the right times in a cost-effective manner". This paper introduces the methodology that was developed to reach this objective by HERA, combining the results of a criticality analysis, performed through a detailed hydraulic model, with a Mean Time To Failure analysis based on pipe bursts-leaks data collected during a six-year period and processed in a GIS software.
